bad call Big Toe, that dude is just maximizing his stake returns, that doesn't make him an asshole any more than a guy who uses an accountant to minimise his tax.

you're out of line with that comment IMO, but it's your coin, so you can insult your posse if you want to

what exactly is the 'asshole' doing?

IMO Thundertoe was on the ball in calling those who were gaming the system 'assholes'. It was they who were censoring (deleting) easily achievable staking difficulties and deprived others of realising their full potential stakes.

Paraphrasing the top of this thread reads that it is self-moderated and if you don't want to be censored, don't post. Thundertoe was just maximising what he can legitimately do, just like the guy you mentioned who uses an accountant to avoid tax.

I view your comments to be unhelpful, particularly at this point in time, and I should imagine that they are out of line with the views of most ordinary TEKstakers. Furthermore, I suspect your motives.

The dummy spit is deleting posts containing alternate opinions. I'm not interested in investing $$ in a coin that expects user goodwill to survive. A good dev should expect people to try and game every advantage, especially alt coins which are basically science experiments. Did thundertoe want to discover the effects of HIS coin paramter choices after TEK was being used in the wild by millions of users? A good dev should welcome every attempt to destroy his coin, that's how they'll get better and survive, it's evolution. I can't believe some of you guys want TEK to be like an old boys club where everyone plays by the rules, and naughty boys get banished for saying nasty things.

People gaming things is as old as human kind.
